Sir John Mundy (died 1537) was a member of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and was Lord Mayor of London in 1522.
Career
John Mundy was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, the son of Sir John Mundy and Isabel Ripes. In 1515 Mundy served as a Sheriff of London. In 1522 he became Lord Mayor of London. He was knighted by King Henry VIII in 1529 (some say 1523).
In 1516 he purchased from Lord Audley the manors of Markeaton, Mackworth and Allestree, all now part of the city of Derby.
He built a Tudor House and his descendants replaced the old manor house with a new mansion in about 1750 Markeaton Hall.
Sir John Mundy was buried in the church of St Peter, Westcheap in the City of London.
Marriages and children
Mundy married twice, firstly to a lady named Margaret Cermiechell. His second marriage was to Juliana Browne (died 1537), the daughter of his mayoral predecessor, Sir William Browne (died 1514), and the granddaughter of two mayors, Sir John Browne and Sir Edmund Shaa. By Juliana, Mundy had five sons and four daughters.

=Margaret Mundy of Markeaton, who married firstly Nicholas Jennings, a member of the Worshipful Company of Skinners and a Sheriff and Alderman of the City of London; secondly, as his third wife, Edmund Howard, Lord Deputy of Calais, younger son of the Duke of Norfolk and therefore became stepmother to Queen Katherine Howard, fifth wife of King Henry VIII by whom she had no children; and thirdly Henry Mannox. Although Steinman conjectured that Margaret Mundy's third husband was the Henry Mannox, executed in 1541, who had been music master to Katherine Howard in her youth, and had been involved in sexual indiscretions with her which later contributed to her downfall, Bindoff established that Margaret Mundy's third husband, Henry Mannox, made his will on 18 March 1564, in which he disinherited both Margaret and his son. Margaret (née Mundy) was buried at Streatham, Surrey, on 22 January 1565.
